Kevin Rudolf "Let it Rock"

[shocker]

Finally had a chance to listen to this. Not bad, but not great either.

It increases 104 spins and lands at #21 on the latest R&R Hot AC chart. My prediction is that it will come close to top 10 status, but fall just short of that accomplishment. Don't really see this as a huge hit at this format - but then I've been wrong before!

It's a big hit in Canada on Hot AC, moving to #4 on the latest R&R Hot AC chart and sitting at #3 in the latest Mediabase report. Only both Nickelback and Katy Perry have been able to hold off this single from reaching the top so far. It's a song that can suit various formats, like we are seeing with Kanye West, Beyonce, Ne-Yo, and even T.I. just to name a few.

I don't know if this is the case on Hot AC in general, but some stations edit out Lil' Wayne's part of the song, so it seems very repetitive in the end.

My Hot AC doesn't edit out Lil' Wayne's verse, but they only credit it as Kevin Rudolf.

The Mix in Chicago plays the edited version as well. Yeah, it's a bit repetitive, but it also sounds a bit short because of that. But most of Hot AC's core listeners don't like the rap, so it's probably better that they edit it than run the risk of stations not playing it at all.

Wow can't believe u haven't heard it yet :o Yeah it'll prob. work well for the HAC's that need pop/rhythmic stuff to balance out sound...it is gettin high callout with CHR listeners (not sure it's gonna get the same callout with adults though IMO)

[blurple]

I don't like this song at all. :(

Much like Estelle's "American Boy" without Kanye, this song just doesn't sound as good without Lil Wayne. My MD downloaded both versions before we added the track, and we decided to go with Lil Wayne. In this case, the "rap" doesn't sound too much like the kind of rap that would offend our audience... it just sounds like another verse of the song.

^I actually like version w/o LW a whole lot better (IMO the rap just doesn't do it for me...seems really cheesy to me I guess)

Also just wonderin if anyone else noticed that he sings the same note through almost the entire song...

[Rumors]

Terrible song. I'll take the AI guys any day over this thing.
